Based on two seminars on correspondence study, held by the Dag Hammarskjold Foundation (Uppsala, Sweden) during 1967-1968,
this volume consists of lectures delivered at these seminars, together with a selection of essays produced by the participants.
The first section reviews the relationship between adult education and economic development, Swedish adult education, and
adult education research. The second section deals with the history and development of correspondence study, the writing of
correspondence courses, correspondence study program administration, two-way communication in correspondence instruction,
and major trends in the field during the decade 1960-1970. The third section focuses specifically on correspondence study
programs in operation in many of the independent African nations and their role in national development. An 88 item bibliography,
including 25 items specifically related to correspondence study, is appended. (Dm)

Opened in 1963, the Swaneng Hill School in Serowe, Botswana, was an experiment for its untrained founders whose objectives
were to reduce the exclusiveness of secondary education, equip students with skills and knowledge needed for development,
make the school a focal point for community development, and instill a sense of social justice in the educated minority. Severe
problems in implementing policies, staff turnover, student attitudes, school conditions, and insufficient jobs for graduates
caused a slow radicalization of the founders and a change in direction of the school away from the production of intellectuals
to the production of workers with skills matched to the market place. Among the strategies the founders employed were a policy
of voluntary labor on the part of all staff and students; the creation of the Serowe Builders' Brigade (and subsequently six
other trade brigades), a self-financing program to teach construction to students not accepted into secondary school; Boiteko,
a model self-help community development project and cooperative enterprise; and the instigation of a course in social and
economic development. The founders advocate a dual policy of modernized and popularly based development, a combined work and
education curriculum, and reformed secondary education on a mass scale. (Sb)

Seeding Solutions brings readers up to date on what has changed -- scientifically, politically, and environmentally -- since
the publication in 1994 of the landmark People, Plants, and Patents. Volume 2 discusses legal mechanisms to address three
key issues: (1) the need to conserve and exchange germplasm for the benefit of present and future generations; (2) the need
to encourage innovation in the conservation and enhancement of germplasm; and (3) new options for securing and strengthening
the rights and interests of indigenous and rural peoples in their role as creators and conservers of biological diversity
